Casio CRW-001-1 Ring Watch *limited one per customer
A groundbreaking fusion of heritage and innovation, the Casio CRW-001-1 is not a G-Shock, but it’s rooted in the legacy of one. Designed in the iconic silhouette of the original DW-5000/5600, this stainless steel ring watch pays tribute to G-Shock’s origin story while boldly stepping into the future as Casio’s first-ever functional ring timepiece.Originally launched in December 2024 to commemorate Casio's 50th Anniversary, the CRW-001-1 was thought to be a limited release. However, with restocks planned in Japan and the U.S., it’s clear that demand has sparked a wider rollout. Powered by an all-new module just 1/10 the size of a traditional movement, this miniature marvel delivers genuine digital functionality in a striking, conversation-starting form.
More than a nod to G-Shock, the CRW-001 also echoes Casio’s earliest beginnings, channeling the inventive spirit of Kashio Seisakujo’s first product, a ring pipe for holding cigarettes. Equal parts tribute and innovation, the CRW-001 is a milestone moment in the Casio catalog, and one of the brand’s biggest hits of 2024.
